Geo Intent Label not showing in Google Maps App

user2297550 :

Since my Google Maps app updated recently, now version 10.11.1, the following code does not show the label as expected, documented, and previously working:

  val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:38.8951,100.0364?q=38.8951,100.0364(foo)")).setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps")
  if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) == null) {
    intent.setPackage(null)
  }
  startActivity(intent)

And neither does this version (with 0,0 immediately after geo:):

  val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=38.8951,100.0364(foo)")).setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps")
  if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) == null) {
    intent.setPackage(null)
  }
  startActivity(intent)

Neither does the example code in the official documentation show a label:

// Display a label at the location of Google's Sydney office
Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=-33.8666,151.1957(Google+Sydney)");
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(mapIntent);

No solution still even with latest map update 10.12.1 the label still does not show even if the documentation still says it should I've created an issue on Google's Issue tracker: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/129726279

hopefully we'll have some information shortly.
